QUORN put in a fine battling performance to take all three points from a trip to Stourport.

The hosts went into the game unbeaten in eight games in all competitions as they marched into the top six.

But Quorn ended that run to move up to fourth in the MFL Premier Division.

After Saturday’s match at Causeway United was called off due to part of the pitch being frozen, Quorn started well and took an eighth minute lead when Jordan Wakeling nodded home Dom Brennan’s free kick from the right.

The lead though lasted just 10 minutes as Stourport hit back to make it 1-1.

The conditions became worse as the game went on and the rain became heavier making for a scrappy, tight game.

Chances were at a premium and it was always likely that any goal would come from a set piece.

It was Sam Hollis who got the decider in the 64th minute, heading Dan Henton’s corner across the whitewash.

Stourport stormed forward looking for an equaliser but The Reds’ defence was able to hold out and claim a vital three points.

It leaves Quorn 11 points behind leaders Long Eaton with a game in hand.
